2:00pm-3:00pm ET | Cataloguing oral history collections and individual interviews in ArchivesSpace This session will begin with panelists sharing how their institutions have used ArchivesSpace for oral histories. After, attendees are encouraged to ask questions and engage in a practical and/or philosophical discussion on methodology, standards, resources or chime in with their own experiences. Presentations are meant to be conversation starters and the ensuing conversation will hopefully help others who are considering how to catalogue their oral history collections in ArchivesSpace. Two themes will be touched upon, the first will be structuring a collection/interview in ArchivesSpace, and second, the components of a record. | |
